Heres a few that I make at home....
Pozole
3 pound pork shoulder
2 gallons water
32 ounce white hominy
6 ounce new mexico hot chile pods
2 tablespoons mexican oregano
salt to taste
4 cloves garlic minced
1 small head cabbage
1 bunch radishes (chopped)
1 large white onion finely chopped
Cut pork shoulder into bite size chunks and place in 1 1/2 gallons water with salt and garlic. Coo****il meat is done.
Remove stems off chile pods and remove seeds, place in pot and cover chiles with 1/2 gallon water and coo****il chiles are soft and pliable. Place chile pods with enough liquid into blender and puree until smooth. Add white hominy and chile sauce to cooked meat, add mexican oregano and allow to cook for 30 minutes longer.
Chop cabbage into small dice. Chop onions and radishes into small dice.
Dish soup into bowls and top with chopped raw veggies and enjoy!
Salmon Loaf
2 cans alaskan sockeye salmon
pickle relish to taste
1 stalk finely chopped celery
1 shallot finely chopped
chopped nuts of choice (I like walnuts and pecans)
enough mayo to mix consistency of tuna or chicken salad
1 teaspoon mustard
salt and pepper
Mix all together and enjoy on tomato slices or with your favorite cracker...
Carne Asada
any cheap cut roast thinly sliced into steaks.....very thinly sliced
juice of several limes or lemons
adobo seasoning
allow meat to marinade in lime or lemon juice for atleast an hour in refridgerator. Heat grill and place steaks onto hot grill and season with adobo seasoning (or salt and pepper or garlic salt) turning after about 1 minute....these are cut so thin they cook very quickly! I buy what ever roast is on sale and have the butcher slice them about 1/4 inch thick....as thinly as he can. Serve these with fresh salsa and refried beans and rice....easy and quite tasty.
ETA: these are the counts for the Pozole....
